This was the first step in the companies’ relationship, illustrated by several catalyst repeat orders. Over time, Axens and MiRO have successfully met various challenges: processing of increasingly difficult feedstock, extension of the time on stream between two turnarounds, and optimisation of the cost-to-fill without compromising on performance.
An important milestone in the collaboration was the implementation by MiRO of the first licensor’s Advanced Process Control (APC) on a Prime-G+. This resulted in a tight and proactive control of the unit operating parameters, which limited, on one hand, the risk of producing off-spec gasoline, and on the other hand, the cost associated with quality.
Throughout the years, the relationship between the two companies has remained strong, as illustrated during the latest Prime-G+ users seminar held in 2017 where MiRO shared its experience with other Prime-G+ licensees.
